Fishing Contest

01Befriending a dwarf

The point of this quest is the White Wolf Mountain tunnel, which saves a long and dangerous climb for the rest of the game.

1. 1

   Talk to Vestri west of White Wolf Mountain, or Austri to the east. The western start is closer to everything that follows.

2. 2

   Work through the dialogue: ask what is down the stairs, ask why you cannot use them, say you would not mind if he were your friend, then ask to be friends.

02Bait and garlic

1. 1

   Take garlic from the table in the house south-west of Seers' Village bank if you do not have any.

   • Garlic
2. 2

   Dig for red vine worms at McGrubor's Wood west of Seers' Village. The southern gate is locked — squeeze through the railing on the north side.

   • Spade
3. 3

   Bring a fishing rod, or buy one from Grandpa Jack for 5 coins near Hemenster.

   An oily fishing rod does not work. A normal or pearl rod is required.

03Winning

1. 1

   Show Morris your fishing pass at the Hemenster gate, by the Ranging Guild.

2. 2

   Put the garlic in the third pipe from the gate, on the south wall of the northern building. The Sinister Stranger complains about the smell and swaps places with you, which is how you get the good spot.

3. 3

   Pay Bonzo the 5 coin entry fee, fish with the red vine worms, and catch the giant carp to win the trophy.
